Why Postnatal Recovery Matters (Paperback)

Paperback. During pregnancy the focus of antenatal preparation is the birth itself, and the importance of the postnatal period is often overlooked. Yet postnatal recovery (or a lack of it) can have consequences for the long-term health and wellbeing of both mother and baby. In Why Postnatal Recovery Matters Sophie Messager draws on her experience as a scientist and doula to show that thinking ahead to after the birth can get new families off to the best possible start. Caring for and truly supporting a mother after the birth should be a societal norm. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
